Traffic Plumets and I quietly sob in the corner

My traffic has plummeted over the last week or so, mainly due to Google re-indexing my blog and dropping the rankings for each of my blog posts, maybe it'll correct itself maybe not.

It's tough coming from 1000 page views a day to a couple hundred if I'm lucky, but hey, it just means I'll have to change my ways or come up with some better stuff for y'all.

What I think caused it is I'm a huge social bookmarking junkie, the only problem is I'm not to social when using services like Digg and Propeller. As a result I feel the link juice that was passed on from my submissions to those sites no longer cuts it with Google and my blogs rankings have dropped

Or it could have been the change to the layout.

Just have to wait and see what happens, though what I've learned from this is to not put all my eggs into one basket, diversify my traffic sources and to try and not force it, if it's link worthy content, it'll happen naturally.

And that's the thing, what you find here on this blog can also be found on many other blogs, so expect to see loads more original content on MPL along with the best paranormal videos and news I come across.

Paranormal Reshuffle

Hope y'all like the reshuffle, I've been meaning to do it for awhile, still got a few tweaks here and there to do and a little culling of what I don't need, but for the most part it'll stay the same.

I know there's been a lot less posting around here lately and it's mainly due to creating original content for the blog, I've been saying that for years now and well, that's what it takes for me to get warmed up, years lol.

Well, I've been working on a series of drawings for something that will hopefully be very useful, as well as a web comic and more videos. Hopefully I'll have them start appearing on here in a months time.

Other than that I hope to be back to my normal rhythm in the next few days, winters getting me down.

Paranormal Rest

Was gonna go full steam ahead tonight, been a little occupied lately. Working on a few things that hopefully everyone will enjoy.

But until them remember to check out Our Paranormal Boards, moving along quite nicely.

If you've got any photos on flickr you may want to add them to the Scary Creepy Weird group I've got set-up there.

Also if you have a paranormal event you want to promote them check out my Paranormal Promotion post for details.

Well, see y'all in the new dawn.

The Paranormal Ratio

As some of you know I'm more of a video blogger, I started this blog mainly to post ghost videos that I've found in my online travels. The problem is compared to UFOs, Bigfoot and others of the like, ghost footage comes in last in terms of the amount out there.

The top draw are UFO videos, there's so much available online and not just on youtube. You could possibly spend a life time watching it all. There's usually a new hot UFO video appearing online every other day.

The second I'd say are Bigfoot videos, even though most are faked. It seems that at least once a month there's a hot new Bigfoot video to talk about.

Which leaves Ghost footage in third place. Well I'd say there's a lot more photographs than the first two, but footage is hard to come by. One week you could have multiple new videos appearing online and then have a few months of nothing.

Well, I don't know where I was going with this, but it should give you an idea of why I post a lot of UFO videos on this blog, if I didn't I wouldn't know when my next post would be.

This has been a rant by Rand.

Steven Spielberg to launch UFO and Paranormal Social Network

Sounds interesting, hope Spielberg does it, wouldn't mind seeing Dan Akroyd do something as well. I mean those dudes must have some mint footage not available online.

Henry VIII's ghost caught on camera

Seems to me life the U.K got their own mysterious wave going on, texas has UFOs, Britain has ghost photos.

This latest photo taken by a woman staying at Samlesbury Hall, shows if you can see it a ghostly face, supposedly it looks like Henry the VIII. To me it looks similar to some of the Pareidolia images I posted awhile back on Strange Clips.

Listening to the Sasquatch Experience

I don't know what it is but I've just recently gotten addicted to listening to paranormal themed podcasts, never used to, thought I needed an Ipod.

I'm just at the moment listening to the latest The Sasquatch Experience show hosted on blogtalkradio and so far so good, they're actually pretty funny and informative.

I don't know who any of the hosts are, this is the first time I've heard the show.

Index for Todays Paranormal Blitz

That was actually fun, thought I'd get more out but I hope to pick up where I left off tomorrow.

Here's what I posted today.

About to Blitz - What the blitz is about.

Is that a ghost in the window? - Ghost video, seems a little dodgy.

UFOs in NASA photos. - Strange object on a NASA photo.

Jim Morrison - Celebrity Ghosts - Ghost photo of Jim Morrison.

Missing Lake Champlain Monster ABC Footage - My plea for help in finding some lake monster footage.

Demon Trash - Video of a cheeky little red demon.

About to Blitz

I hope... I just updated my Tourism Area 52 post with a two part video which shows the two entrances to Area 51, pretty informative.

With that I think I'm about to go on a blogging marathon, I have loads of bookmarks in my "to post later" folder that I feel the need to empty it, I'll see how it goes, some videos and stuff may need more looking into.

I'll follow up the blitz with an index post for it all.

On a side note I just heard the sound of ripping paper coming from my kitchen, it's 2 in the morning and I'm the only one up and it's freaking me out a little.

Well see y'all on the flip side.

Merry Christmas all!!!

Well the clocks just struck 12:00 here and it's now officially Christmas day down under, I just finished work about an hour ago and have a few presents still to wrap and then to bed for the events tomorrow which usually involves the whole family going over to my aunts house and eating our weight in food.

So to all have a a very Merry Christmas and hope you all have fun, me it'll be in the sun.

Poles and Paranormal Media

So hopefully I'm back on top, been pretty sparse on posts around here the last week or so, I've been lurking in the background, touching up my various blogs, figuring out how I can improve and what not, pretty low key, I've been working on updating My Paranormal Media with all my images and art work that I've done for my blogs, just a picture blog really.

The What would you like to see more of on MPL poll has ended and the overwhelming support goes towards Paranormal Videos with 62% of the votes followed by Current Paranormal News with 28%. I'm gonna throw up another pole now which is What topics do you like to see most on MPL, if you'd like to vote the pole is in the right sidebar.

See y'all in my next post.

A refreshing non paranormal weekend

Had myself a great weekend under the sun by the local rivers and beaches, well Sunday was sunny, Saturday was a little overcast, still hot though. I think it was just what I needed, two days off in a row to call my own.

Got a few photos of my weekend, hope y'all like.

Bloggers Block of the Living Dead

I've got the meanest bloggers block at the moment, I have so much I want to post about that I end up not posting anything at all. Time to slow down, relax, maybe watch a movie and enjoy the sun by the river tomorrow. This place we are going to is one of the most beautiful places I know of and hopefully I get some good photos to share.

As for a movie, well I've been meaning to download Night of the Living Dead from archive.org for years now. It's public domain and perfectly legal to download and so are many other things on there, it's like a freebie basket full of hidden gems.

Not such a Paranormal Life after all

It's getting really hot down here in New Zealand, feels hotter than it usually is at this time of year, the silly season has taken its toll on my work life with most of my rostered days off being filled with shifts, though in the new year I'll probably struggle to get any.

It's left me with less time for this blog, but it's also left me with time to reflect on what I want to do with it, so hopefully when things settle down I can bang all these ideas out. I think my brothers house may be haunted lol, that should make for good viewing hopefully.

The poll to the left has gone pretty good, I asked "What would you like to see more of on MPL" and Paranormal videos is winning by a large margin, there's 3 days left to vote so if you haven't already give it a go.

I've added the Blogcatalog widget back to the blog, it's nice to see all the regular faces again, don't actually know why I ever took it off.

Anyway I'll be posting videos and such when I find good ones, but until the new year that's probably all you'll see.

Phantom Cat

Guess not, ran out of time, not video posting blitz. Anyway retty interesting videos below, both pretty much exactly the same, only different areas. Keep your eye on the cat that moseys on up.

Could be some neat editing or a mysterious phantom cat.

Misteri Kucing Hitam MFI CCTV 1


Misteri Kucing Hitam MFI CCTV 2

Ghost in the Attic

Finally got some time to have a look around, so hopefully I can blitz some paranormal videos out.

The clip below looks setup, looks expensive though. The video starts with an old lady who is acting as a medium by painting a picture of an entity that is tormenting the filmers little girl. The filmer hears his girls cries and investigates with scary results.

Looks to me heavily inspired by the movie The Grudge, could even be from a movie, who knows?

Ghostly Image Becomes All Too Real!

Working 9 to 9 what a way to make a living

I was ready to go all out on a mega posting spree but after scrolling through thousands of head lines my eyes just wont stay open. I have the morning off tomorrow and thought I could stay up late and catch up on all the news, some good reads in there but they've ended up in my "to read later" bookmark folder.

I'm so feeling sorry for myself at the moment, working 9 to 9 each day is getting to me, but hey it'll all be over soon and I can enjoy my time again, then again it's the silly season and people make crazy strange bookings.

Seeyas in 5.

See ya in 6 days

Not much time to chat, just enough time for my other job, blogging that is. There's quite a few sponsored posts on the front page at the moment, sorry bout that, but if I don't complete the assignments, well I kind of get fired.

I usually follow up such posts with a few paranormal posts, but I'm just not having the time to search for videos and news, so expect to see loads of omnibus posts in about six days.

See you in 9 days

I won't be around here to often the next 9 or so days, I'll be working a lot and won't have to much time for blogging. Trust me I'd rather be blogging, just a lot of shifts to fill at work and not to many people around to cover them. So for the next week and a bit I'll be master chef, I hope I don't go all Gordon Ramsey.

Hopefully I can take this time to step back from this blog and get some fresh ideas and come back to it ready to roll. Knowing me though, I'll probably stay up late to post and suffer for it at work, no pain no gain for something you love right.

Ghost Photos of girl in parking lot

Just saw some pretty creepy ghost photos over at World horror stories if y'all want to check them out.

I'd say pretty easily faked, but boy are they affective, if real you don't get to see em like this very often.
